My place is close to Downtown Birmingham and Pembroke Park. You’ll love my place because of the ambiance and the neighborhood. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids).

Julia's little house in Birmingham was perfect for my son and me. The house had everything promised, plus a new iron and ironing board purchased after I asked Julia if she provided them and because she hadn't, she went out and bought them. The linens were high quality as were the mattresses. The house was very clean and the A/C worked perfectly as the weather was quite warm. The kitchen was very well equipped. The neighborhood is quiet and very friendly. Lots of people on the sidewalks walking their dogs. The location was near where the event and my family live, so it was very convenient. I would stay there again.

SusanAugust 2016

We had a lovely stay at Julia's home in Birmingham. While I wouldn't define it as walking distance to downtown (unless you're ok with a fairly long walk and on some busy streets), it was a very nice proximity and we loved the safe neighborhood with a block walk to a huge park/playground for our kids. The house is tiny but very clean and the process of getting in to the house was easy!

JustinSeptember 2016

This is a darling brick bungalow in a neighborhood of immaculate brick bungalows. Photos don't quite do it justice - it's a cute, simple, cozy little place. This is a great place to stay with younger kids - Pembroke Park with its large playground is just one block away. We had an issue with the gas utilities during our stay (unlikely to happen again to another tenant), and Julia was prompt in responding to our concerns. We also enjoyed her restaurant recommendations. One note about the description: I wouldn't say it's within reasonable walking distance to downtown B'ham. Anything is within walking distance if you have enough time, of course!

CourtneyOctober 2016

The house was perfect. It was close to everything we needed and wanted. Birmingham is so charming! Julia had everything we needed in the house to make our stay comfortable and convenient.

AngelaAugust 2016

Very easy and straightforward stay in a very clean and lovely home. Perfect for our stay to visit family!

MarkSeptember 2016

This was a great location and beautifully renovated home. New comfy beds, great shower, kitchen and all well furnished. Large cool room in basement with TV. Great escape for busy family weekend from out of town.

ShelleyJuly 2016

Great Home in Birmingham! Hosts have dialed up this home perfect for a comfortable stay in a classic metro Detroit neighborhood. Feel like you belong with a quiet street and convenient nearby amenities. Enjoy a nice walk around the neighborhood and park.

JohnJuly 2016

Everything about this listing was accurate. Clean, updated home with fully equipped kitchen and close to shopping. Perfect for putting up my out of town guests for my daughters wedding.

5 minute walk from downtown retail shops, restaurants and bars. 2nd floor unit. 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms. 1200 square feet.
Guest will have access to entire condo except for master bedroom and master bathroom.
I am available to help in any way possible.

This is the only gated condominium complex in Birmingham. Riverfront in back of complex. Courtyard in complex.
Plenty of onsite parking.

Host definitely made me feel welcome. He was friendly and accommodating. The place was clean and quiet. Sheets, towels and pillows seemed clean and new. The room I stayed in was better than the hotel I stayed in the night before. It is in a great location if you are looking to go to the movies, eat out or take in the town. The price was perfect and half of what I paid the night before in a hotel that had burn marks on the floor and yellow water. My host was well organized and had the key waiting for me and gave me the code to get in the gated community.

EricJune 2016

I had a great stay at Aaron's place. The condo was very nice with modern amenities throughout. Aaron keeps it super clean. There is also beautiful art hanging around the house. Everything was comfortable, I slept great, and the shower was roomy even for a tall guy like me. Aaron himself was a very nice guy. Very pleasant to talk with and very helpful. And the location is great too! I was able to walk to downtown birmingham where all the restaurants and bars are at. I highly recommend Aarons place.

JaredJuly 2016

All good though the pull-out couch bed a tad small, and too soft for my liking (others might like that). I prefer a firm mattress and more room to spread out.

AndrewOctober 2016

Pull out couch is a tad bit small for a taller person, but otherwise a very pleasant place to stay. Aaron was friendly and helpful. The place was clean and welcoming. The town was very nice

CoreyAugust 2016

It was a great experience for me. The room was so clean and comfortable. Aaron was kind and helpful for me. I strongly recommend other guests to use his room.

ShogoSeptember 2016

Great place, great location. Clean, easy . Highly recommend.

ChrisNovember 2016

Aaron provided me with thorough instructions on what to do upon my arrival. He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and very welcoming and always stopped by to have a quick chat to see how I was doing. The place was very nice and spacious and I was free to use the living room and kitchen along with my own bathroom. Aaron's place is located just outside the downtown Birmingham area and only takes a 10 minute walk to get to. This area has a lot of shops and restaurants to go to and is also just nice to take a walk and explore. I stayed over for a new job placement until I could move into an apartment. I was new to Michigan, so it was nice to speak with someone who is familiar with the area. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay over again or recommend Aaron to a friend. The nightly rate was a steal especially considering the area and amenities.

MichaelJuly 2016

I was in town for business and preferred the upscale neighborhood condo rather than an extended stay; smart decision! Aaron was friendly, hospitable and accommodating. The instructions to enter the gated community and condo were very clear. The upgrades in his unit were exquisite! I was so comfortable It was hard to leave for work! I felt safe, it was quiet, and very clean. I made myself at home and turned up the central air, used the Internet daily, and had the tv on for background noise. It was a quick hop, skip and a jump to Morton's , Ocean Prime, Ruth's Chris and the Birmingham Theatre. I highly recommend Aaron's place! Without any doubt I would book it again!

Stay right in the heart of beautiful downtown Birmingham and all it has to offer! Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street within short walking distance to restaurants, shops, nightlife, theaters and parks. Four blocks from the Townsend Hotel. Cozy studio with queen-sized bed great for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Everything was great and handled professionally. Nice neighborhood, too.

BryanNovember 2016

John was great with his communication before and after our stay. We had a wedding in Down Town and his place was very close to our Hotel and made it so easy on us. We also had snacks and drinks and full kitchen. I had left my favorite sweater at his place and he was so kind to mail it back to us. Thank you John!

ParisaOctober 2016

Johnson a great job of communications about that place. He was vey sweet to leave snacks and make sure we arrived ok

LindaAugust 2016

We were very happy with John's apartment. The location was excellent, the apartment was clean and had everything (including wifi) that we needed. There was no central air conditioning but a portable air conditioner and fans that took care of the heat the weekend we were there. We were happy that snacks and drinks, along with some breakfast items, were provided. We would go back to John's airbnb in a heartbeat!

SuzanneAugust 2016

John was a great host. I highly recommend his adorable apartment. Great location to walk to shopping. Nestled among beautiful homes on quiet street.

BretAugust 2016

John was an outstanding host. His apartment is in a fantastic area (Birmingham), a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants in down town Birmingham. He was very helpful, informative and responsive to any questions. He also was very considerate by providing snacks and beverages as a welcome. I highly recommend John as a host and staying at his apartment!

AndrewOctober 2016

Cozy, park-side location on a tree-lined street: just blocks from neighborhood shops and restaurants and 20 minute walk to the center of town. This is a 3 bedroom ranch with a finished lower level living area. There's 2 full bathrooms (shared). Enjoy a home that is professionally decorated, meticulously cared for and handsomely equipped.

This space works well for business travelers and adventure-seekers alike. It's a quiet and comfortable retreat that's also very close to premium shopping, bars, restaurants, cultural and outdoor attractions. Downtown Detroit is about a 25 minute commute.
The room itself is equipped with a table for two, a flat screen TV with cable, and two empty closets. The queen-sized bed has a new mattress. The shared full bathroom is located right outside your bedroom door plus there's a 2nd full bath located in the finished lower level of the house. The room is keyed separately for additional security.
In the finished lower level, you will find the laundry room with iron and ironing board, an office area plus an additional living area with sectional seating and cable TV. Outdoors, you'll find a patio with a table that seats six plus a fireplace. The backyard is fenced, in case you're traveling with your pup or young ones!
All of the common areas of the house are open to guests, as well as the outdoor patio and fireplace. If you request it, I can usually make a bike or two available for your use as well!
I usually stay at a different house nearby, but I will be eager to meet you upon check-in and help get you situated. If preference or circumstances dictate, I'll make it easy for you to check yourself in as well. Also, unless you reserve the entire home, you may be sharing the house with other guests.

Located in Birmingham's Rail District, this neighborhood hugs Kenning Park, a beautiful green space that also features a playground area plus indoor ice skating rink, skate park and ball fields. Popular hangouts in the Rail District include Griffen Claw Brewery, the Whistle Stop Cafe and Big Rock Restaurant & night club, which are just a few blocks away. A walk through the neighborhood into downtown Birmingham will take you about 20 minutes.
The Amtrak station (TRM) is located about a mile from the house. In the other direction, you can walk to Woodward Avenue for access to several SMART bus lines. But remember, this is the Motor City and it's easiest to have a car to get around in if you plan to explore! If you're up for exploring locally, I am happy to share my bikes if they're available.
If you request to book, please tell me a little bit about your travels and how you plan to use the space so that I can make sure this will be a great experience for everyone. Recommendations from other hosts will also be a factor in evaluating booking requests. This room does not have a private bath.

This was a very nice cosy house to stay at after a day of work. Very quite neighborhood yet close to nice places to eat or purchase groceries. Rachel is a great host!

TimothyNovember 2016

Rachel was in touch with me and made everything possible for a good stay. Place is located near shops and restaurants. Home was clean and inviting. Hope to be her guest again in the future.

ClaudiaMay 2016

Rachel was a great communicator of information. Though I didn't have a chance to meet her, she had clear information available in the house. This is a "shared experience" as she makes multiple rooms in her home available to AirBnB. The house is situated in a clean, pretty little tree canopied neighborhood near shopping, a pretty downtown area and restaurants.

PattyAugust 2016

Rachel met me at the house and was super cool about the fact that I was late. The room was very clean as was the rest of the house. It was a great deal for the money. Very nice neighborhood, cute house. The other house guests were respectful and quiet. I would stay there again.

LeahMay 2016

Neighborhood was adorable!

CaraAugust 2016

This was a truly great place to stay. I always had input when other people were to arrive and leave.

RichardOctober 2016

Rachel is a wonderful hostess! Her place is warm and cozy, located close to many fun places and was a such a treat to stay in. Thank you Rachel!

NicoleSeptember 2016

Had a nice time at Rachels! She was very easy to reach and the room was very nice. Heavenly sheets!

Bright, sunny 10’ x 12’ bedroom on second floor. Full-sized bed features new mattress. Television, clock radio provided. Tons of closet and drawer space. Quiet street. Master bathroom steps away.
All common areas of the house are yours to enjoy. Large rear deck has table for two if you wish to dine outside. Front porch has comfy love seat that is perfect for viewing people passing by with their kids or dogs or both.
I will be there to greet you upon arrival and get you situated. After that, I will give you your space unless I can be of additional service. If you need something you don’t see, just ask – I’m sure I have it around somewhere. I’ll be happy to make suggestions about dining, entertainment and the like in Birmingham as well as other popular night life cities along the Woodward Corridor (Royal Oak & Ferndale). Downtown Detroit and all it offers is a $16 - $20 UBER ride away.

Birmingham is one of the country’s top-10 suburbs and downtown is an easy stroll from my house. Plenty of incredible houses to look at along the way as well. Quaint shops line every street along with the customary Starbucks and dining establishments that fit every budget. Plus you never know which celebrity or famous athlete you may run into who is staying at the nearby 5-star Townsend Hotel. (Tour buses for famous rock bands are always parked outside during the summer months. Most NBA and MLB teams bunk there as well.) Birmingham prides itself on being a very walk-able city, so most restaurants offer outdoor dining during the warm weather months for optimal people watching. And since this is the Motor City, plenty of automobile watching, too. (As in, “How much did he pay for that new Lamborghini???” Answer: “Too much.”) An exceptionally safe city, people are quite comfortable walking home from downtown Birmingham’s more popular eating and drinking establishes after they close at 2 AM. And if you are an early riser, it is not unusual to see deer casually walking down the middle of the street or nibbling tree leaves in the front yard.
The Detroit area isn’t exactly known for its public transportation, so most visitors opt for rental cars or services like UBER or LYFT. If you want to do some local exploring, host can provide two bikes with questionable brakes and suggestions for the best routes to take.
Birmingham and nearby Somerset Mall offer plenty of high end shopping. And since this is the “Motor City”, it’s always fun to join the crowds gathered along nearby Woodward Avenue on weekend nights to watch the passing parade of gleaming muscle cars past and present burning rubber and showing off.

James was a wonderful host. He made us feel very welcomed. I would recommend staying with him.

CarlosMay 2016

Jim was a great host and very flexible of our check in times!

YeinJune 2016

James was a nice host and very helpful. I stayed at his home for an extended period (3 months) and during that time he very kindly drove me to the airport a few times, gave me recommendations for places to eat out, took me to the grocery store, and even did my laundry on a few occasions! The house was in a great location very close to downtown Birmingham so it was very easy for me to live there and get around without owning a car. Overall it was a nice experience.

BrettOctober 2016

James was a great host and very helpful. He drove me to and from Birmingham center for dinner, which was wonderful. Bed with electric blanket was super cool as I've never used one before. Slept very comfortably. Neighborhood is pretty, safe and quiet. Great place to stay if on a budget and looking for a cozy and friendly visit.

JuanNovember 2016

Jim was very helpful and accommodating. Gave some good suggestions on places to eat and roads to take. The house is located in a very nice area and within walking distance of the downtown Birmingham.

Recently remodeled lower level suite walking distance to downtown Birmingham; 4 miles to Royal Oak. Blocks from the exclusive Townsend hotel. Great access to major highways, sports/entertainment venues and 35 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Private basement suite with full bath and private rear entrance. Beautiful secluded back deck.

There are very few affordable local options for overnight accommodation near downtown Birmingham, and essentially none that are walking distance to all of the fabulous bars, restaurants and shopping that this area has to offer.
We have no children and no pets, so we have no problem keeping this rental space clean and making ourselves available as hosts to provide you with an amazing Airbnb experience. Your stay might even include some transportation if we are available.
My husband has a new granddaughter in Florida, so we have created this brand new rental space to help us subsidize more frequent visits.
We are limiting this listing to the lower level suite with full bath to ensure that an appropriate sense of privacy is maintained for both our guests and ourselves, should we all be at the house together.
Access to full laundry is available. The suite is equipped with a small refrigerator and coffee maker, as well as a 32" flat screen tv and wi-fi.
Parking is available. Uber is alive and well in this and surrounding areas.
As much or as little as you like.

Kelly and Steve are very accommodating. The room was very clean and cozy! Beautiful neighborhood and close to downtown Birmingham.

Our home is within walking distance to restaurants, stores, coffee shops and dining. You’ll love our place because of the comfy queen bed (only bedroom on that floor), the high ceilings, privacy in the house for the bedroom and the kitchen. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

The bedroom is very private with great access to the theater room and fitness area.
Guests can use the entire floor that the bedroom is located, plus the kitchen area on the main floor of the house. Plus the outdoor space in the private rear of the house.
We are usually nearby when guests are staying with us. We are only a phone call or text away at all times.

Quiet neighborhood with great access to the downtown area of Birmingham. Filled with charming stores and great dining choices. Our house is a short walk to downtown Birmingham and about 20 to 25 minutes from downtown Detroit.
Parking is available on the street or driveway. Uber is available in the area.

I spent a lovely 5 nights at Christopher's place. It's perhaps the most clean, accommodating, and relaxing Airbnb experience I've had yet. Downtown Birmingham is very walkable from here and there are plenty of restaurants and shopping options. Would highly recommend.

DavidSeptember 2016

Can't say enough good things about our stay--very friendly, very clean and in the perfect location. We were in town visiting my brother and we will definitely try and stay here again on future visits. Thank you all again!

TessaOctober 2016

Chris and his wife were very friendly and made sure we had a pleasant experience. The room was exactly as listed and we took advantage of the theater-like room right off of our bedroom. The bed is on the firm side, but surprisingly, it was comfortable and we slept very well. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. One last thing to mention is that there is a plethora of restaurants in the area.

StacyOctober 2016

Christopher and Gosia were very welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable. We were looking for a nice get-a-way for the weekend and this place was perfect! We also enjoyed the awesome theater room!

Rachel October 2016

Spacious basement. Very private and modern. Enjoyed stay.

John WayneSeptember 2016

Excellent hospitality. Very neat and tidy house exactly as seen in the pictures. Chris (host) very quick in responding. Would love to stay here again...!!

likithaOctober 2016

My gosh! I have been to quite a few Airbnb's in the world and I have got to say that our stay at Chris and Gosia's was one of the best! Birmingham is a cute little area of Michigan with beautiful homes. Parking was easy (just in front of their house). Chris and Gosia were welcoming and were great hosts! The room was immaculate with bottled water and chocolates waiting as well as a tv in the room. There was also a theater room with a huge projector screen. We watched a baseball game on it, it was amazing! I'm a stickler for bathrooms and it was pristine! I wish we could have stayed there longer. Thank you Chris and Gosia!

Walk to downtown Birmingham, restaurants and breweries! My place is close to Griffin Claw Brewing Company, Whistle Stop Restaurant, and Center For Yoga. You’ll love my place because of the people, the ambiance, the neighborhood, and the light. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. 4 beds and a couch make this a perfect stay for any size party.

This is a modern Townhome (Brownstone) built in 2012. It is a beautiful community in one of SE Michigan's nicest suburbs. There are 3 bedrooms and a 4 floor loft with ping pong table, big screen TV and a double bed!

Julie's house was amazing! Very organized, clean and comfortable. She was very responsive to questions and making sure we had everything we needed. The executives that stayed at the house were very impressed and we will definitely want to use again.

KatelynAugust 2016

Julie made us feel very welcome right from our first exchange. She was very helpful in the planning for the trip and then once we were at the house. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures online! It is such a nice space to relax and so close to downtown Birmingham. The location was perfect!

JessicaOctober 2015

Julie is a wonderful hostess. Her house was one of the best I've stayed in. We felt right at home, Julie made sure all the little comforts of home were there. Nothing and I mean nothing wasn't thought of. Her house is the perfect location to town. The walk to the park, into town, to the restaurants, and to friends houses was spot on. I highly recommend staying at Julie's she's the best and it made my week there so very special. Bonnie Fisher

BonnieJune 2016

We had a great time staying in Julie's beautiful home. Julie is a wonderful host and her home is perfect! It was our first time renting from Airbnb and it was great! We would definitely enjoy staying at Julie's again when visiting family in the Metro Detroit area.

Melissa August 2015

Our family was made to feel very welcome and were personally greeted upon our arrival. The welcome sign was also a very nice touch and Julie made a conscious effort to make sure everything was in order and we had everything we needed. The house was better than advertised, it was spotless, had all the modern appliances, very well decorated and comfortably accommodated our family of 5. The location was ideal, walking distance to shopping, workout facility and restaurants. All in all, we would not hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to the Detroit area.

williamMarch 2015

Where do I start with this (URL HIDDEN) it too much to say it was hands-down one of the BEST experiences I have had in all of my years of traveling? Well, that isn't an understatement. I travel for work (a ton) and I have 4 kids (yes, that's a ton!). I recently decided to bring 2 of my 4 on the road with me to SE Michigan, where I travel twice a month. The stress of finding a good hotel, and worrying about my kids when I had to leave for work was too (URL HIDDEN) I decided to find a home. I found Julie's listing at the last minute, and her lovely home was an absolute haven. I could go on and on with the details of the home, but they are too much to mention. Just know this: her home is absolutely lovely and charming and comfortable, and she is a dream to work with. So accommodating and kind. I cannot suggest this place more--in fact, if I move to Michigan, I want to buy her home! I cannot wait to go back. It made for an absolutely fantastic vacation/trip.

CharityAugust 2015

Our host Julie was the perfect host. As a new member of airbnb, my family and I couldn't have been more fortunate to be welcomed by the most impeccably detailed host who thought of the little touches, such as precise instructions, labels on items throughout the house, a stocked fridge, the most charming, cleanest bungalow in the perfect tree-lined quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to a city we've loved to visit for years, where we used to stay at an upscale hotel and now have opened up to the airbnb experience! I was impressed with Julie's care in restoring this bungalow, and making the space feel every bit as inviting for her guests, as though it were their own. Thank you, Julie!

MariaAugust 2015

Julie is an incredibly accommodating host. We had a few folks from out-of-state offices visit during Dream Cruise week and there could not have been a more convenient choice in the Birmingham area. Our guests made a few mistakes while at Julie's place, but she was very understanding. If you are looking for an elegantly-designed home to stay in while you are in town, there is not a better option!

We loved our stay! It was immaculately clean and very cozy. We appreciated the toiletries, soft sheets and blankets. We were happy that it was so close to everything.

Amber November 2016

The Cute Blue Bungalow was perfect. There were five of us in town from California for a family reunion and this worked out great! Great location, super clean, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The house is on an adorable street that is walkable to numerous little stores, bagel shop, etc. The whole process of booking, arriving and finding everything we needed was seamless. I would definitely recommend this spot.

If you request to book, please tell me a little bit about your travels and how you plan to use the space so that I can make sure that you're a match with myself or other guests. Recommendations from other hosts will also be a factor in evaluating requests. This room does not have a private bathroom.

Rachel is gracious and genuinely interested in learning about her guests. She wasn't around much while I was at the house but it was a great stay at a comfortable home.

Rachel was super professional and clearly very experienced as an AirBnB host. Her communications were clear and detailed, which made getting organized very easy on my end. She was gracious in person and everything about the place was as expected. This was my first AirBnB experience, and I'd definitely come back.

Nice comfortable home close to everything. I would stay again on another trip.

LeanneSeptember 2016

Rachel under-promised, and over-delivered! The first good impression was exceeded. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. The location has easy access to major transportation points. The house was exceptional clean and well furnished. Certainly at the top of my list of superb AirBnB experiences.

This space is a quiet and comfortable retreat that's also very close to premium shopping, bars, restaurants, cultural and outdoor attractions. Downtown Detroit is about a 25 minute commute.

Rachel is a great and friendly host. This is my second time staying here and it is great. I always feel at home here. Great house, great environment and great neighborhood. The house is always clean and organized.

This private room was excellent. Clean, comfortable bed, good temperature, good blinds on the window, a well-maintained communal bathroom, and a kitchen where I kept a few things for a light breakfast in the morning. For the price, location, and offering, I'd highly recommend!

great host and fun place to be

KateOctober 2016

I found a dreamy place. The room is clean and lovely. You can stay at this house as if you were experiencing a fun dormitory life because there are other 2 guest rooms besides yours. I enjoyed conversations with 2 persons who were staying here. And Starbucks coffee I shared was so tasty! Walkable distance to the downtown Birmingham, a lot of green, safe, and beautiful atmosphere! Also, Whistle Stop Cafe and Beer restaurant Griffin Claw are close. I went to both. These are places of recreation and relaxation where residents of Birmingham gather. :) Staying at Rachel's house will give you a peaceful and refreshing time...

Rachel was a great host. I would definitely stay at her apartment next time I am in Birmingham. Thanks for everything!

Rachel met us soon after we arrived. She was super friendly and very helpful in telling us what was nearby, fun things to do around town and local hotspots. The shops nearby are really nice, they have all you'd need for a great vacation, and the backyard is wonderful for pets and outside eating/firepit fun. This was a great stay and we plan on returning next year. Nice!

AnnieAugust 2016

We loved our stay at Rachel's home. She was always very prompt with her communication and coordinating plans. She even had the air mattress set up for us and coffee and juice waiting for us in the refrigerator! I would definitely recommend staying here!

ElizabethAugust 2016

We were a family of 5 adults and 1 dog coming from three different locations staying in Rachel's home for the weekend. We found her home comfy and well suited to our needs. What a delightful alternative to staying in a hotel. We would definitely do it again and would recommend Rachel's home to others looking for comfortable accommodations.

BarbaraNovember 2016

Rachel was friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The house was clean, in a great neighborhood, and the backyard was bigger than I had expected. My friends and I very much enjoyed our stay at the house.
